PRESIDENT’S PAGE

By C. Douglas Folger, MD

I n this, my fi rst President’s Page article, I wish to start out by saying that it is an honor for me to serve as your President for the 2015 year. Congratulations

to our outgoing President, Dr. Julie Strebel Hager, who has done a superb job of leading our organization over the past year. Her dedication and hard work have been remarkable, and are greatly appreciated by all who have worked with her. I look forward to working closely with our dedicated offi cers, including Dr. Don Wilber, President-Elect; Dr. David Holden, Vice President; and Dr. Sam Dahr, Secretary-Treasurer; also with our outstanding Board of Directors, whose names are listed in the front of each Bulletin; and with our loyal and talented support staff, including Jana Timberlake, Tracy Senat and Eldona Wright.

I have been a dues-paying member of OCMS since the late 1970s and have repeatedly been impressed with, and proud of, the numerous accomplishments of the Society over the years that have, as our mission statement espouses, improved the health of our citizens. In the November/December 2014 Bulletin, Dr. Hager discussed several of these accomplishments, including the development of the Oklahoma Blood

Institute, AMCARE (now EMSA), Hospice of Oklahoma County (now Integris Hospice of Oklahoma County), the Open Arms Free Clinic in northwest Oklahoma City, Schools for Healthy Lifestyles, and the Health Alliance for the Uninsured.

Our mission statement also proclaims that OCMS will ‘nurture and improve the well-being of its physicians.” I see this occurring in several different ways. The Society serves as a forum for physicians to exchange and discuss ideas and issues related to the many aspects of their professional lives.

Through concerted efforts, the Society becomes the voice of organized medicine in Oklahoma County. By way of strong advocacy, the Society has had signifi cant success in infl uencing health policy in Oklahoma – tort reform and scope of practice quickly come to mind. In the aftermath of the mid-term elections and the changing balance of power in Washington DC, it will be interesting to see what impact it may have on our lives as physicians, and what dialogue it may stimulate.

Continues on page 6 …


Obviously, this sort of decline cannot be maintained for long. We think that declining membership is due to a combination of retiring members moving to Life membership and a decreasing number of young physicians joining our ranks. Our Board of Directors is working to better understand the decreasing dues-paying membership and to develop a plan to stimulate membership growth. I plan to share more about this with you in a future President’s Page.

In the meantime, I would like to ask our current members to refl ect on what it is about our Society that infl uences you to remain a member. I would then encourage you to aid in the recruitment of new members by discussing the benefi ts of membership with your colleagues and, if they are not members, encouraging them to join us. Let’s work together to make 2015 a really positive year for our organization.

THE

BULLETIN

PRESIDENT’S PAGE Continued from page 5 …

Participation in our Leadership Academy by young Oklahoma County physicians interested in developing strong leadership skills should help assure that we have effective organizational leaders in years to come. By attending membership meetings, our physicians can make new friends, participate in the business of the Society, and be inspired by well-known guest speakers.

All of what I have mentioned to this point reinforces my decision to be an active member of OCMS.

This brings me to the important subject of OCMS membership. I want to share some concerning OCMS membership statistics with you. From 2010 to 2014, OCMS has experienced a 17% decrease in dues-paying members. During that same time period, there has been a 5.5% increase in Life members, who no longer practice or pay dues. From 2013-2014, we suffered a 7.7% decrease in dues-paying members.

THANK YOU2015 OCMS SPONSORS!

DEAN’S PAGEBy M. Dewayne Andrews, MD, MACP

I n my comments about educational programs at the College, I usually focus on medical student education and residency training. Nonetheless,

the College has two other educational programs that deserve some attention in these pages: physician assistant education and graduate student education.

The physician assistant (physician associate) or PA program is a 30-month program leading to the degree Master of Health Sciences. The Oklahoma City PA program has 52 students enrolled in each class, and the Tulsa program has 25 students in each class. Overall, we have 152 PA students in Oklahoma City and 77 in Tulsa. The Oklahoma City program was established many years ago; the Tulsa program began only a few years ago.

The programs are blessed with large, qualifi ed applicant pools, and the performance outcomes and national certifi cation examination results of the programs are excellent. Graduates from the programs are experiencing good job opportunities as the demand for PAs continues to increase. The Oklahoma City program is undergoing some reorganization and new curriculum development under the leadership of its new Director, Todd Doran. We recruited Todd from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and are extremely happy with his invigorating leadership of the program.

The College of Medicine has approximately 170 graduate students working in the biomedical sciences enrolled in M.S. and Ph.D. programs, the majority of whom are in the Ph.D. program. We also have a few students each year admitted to the combined M.D./Ph.D. program. While graduate studies are under the aegis of the Graduate College at the Health Sciences Center, graduate students in the biomedical sciences are based in the College of Medicine with appropriate mentors among the medical school faculty. Graduate students are extremely important to the basic sciences departments and the basic sciences faculty and enrich the intellectual climate for those focused on advancing basic medical science.

Returning to the medical student education program, I am very pleased with the results of our students’ performance on the USMLE Step 1 exam in the past few years since we introduced “Curriculum 2010” – the new integrated organ-system based curriculum for the fi rst two years of medical school. First-time taker pass rates and class mean scores for the College have exceeded the national benchmarks, and scores of each of the topic areas are higher than ever. We’ve also witnessed exceptional student performance on the Step 2 exam. Both students and faculty are enthusiastic about these results.

OCMS FALL 2014 MEMBERSHIP MEETING

The OCMS fall membership meeting in November was highlighted by a presentation by Dr. R. Murali Krishna titled “Physician Burnout: Cause, Identifi cation and Prevention Tools.” Dr. Krishna provided free copies of a three-CD set from his ‘Art of Happy Living’ seminars. We have additional copies of this CD set available for members who could not attend the meeting. Please call 702-0500 if you would like one of them.

Also at the membership meeting, the 2015 offi cers were elected: C. Douglas Folger, MD, President; Don Wilber, MD, President-Elect; David Holden, MD, Vice President; and Sam Dahr, MD, Secretary-Treasurer.


Our everyday lives are so frantic that we sometimes lose sight of what brings us happiness and contentment. Within each of us

lies a great strength in our mind that many of us have yet to discover and to develop fully. This strength is “mindfulness” or what some refer to as “heartfulness.” Learning the art of this age-old practice can have a signifi cant positive impact on our inner peace and health and can facilitate profound emotional, physical and spiritual healing and growth. People are becoming more aware of this benefi cial habit. The Huffi ngton Post declared 2014 “the year of mindfulness.”

Mindfulness is the art of paying attention to the present moment with intention, openness, curiosity and without judgment – there is no good and there is no bad. It is a willingness to accept what is. It is experiencing each moment as it unfolds in its purest form without judgment and without coloring it with our own biases and perceptions – it’s letting go of past regrets and the worries of what the future might bring. It is learning the practice of being in the present moment, consciously being aware, and giving our full focused attention without judging. The benefi ts are profound. With regular practice, mindfulness is a powerful tool that can help you improve your overall well-being.

Mental, physical health benefi ts and possible applications: Most of us have experienced mindfulness at some point in our lives. Modern science is revealing that if we learn the art of mindfulness and sustain the practice over a period

of time, then this can have a positive effect on our inner peace and happiness as well as on our health. For example, recent research done at respectable institutions such as Harvard University, UCLA, University of California San Francisco, University of Wisconsin, and Carnegie Mellon University, point out some of the following positive changes: increased sense of well-being, inner peace, happiness, emotional regulation, improved memory and learning, improved resilience, improved relationships, enhanced decision making and judgment, and decreased impulsivity, as well as interesting yet fascinating changes in the brain and body and the way our genes are expressed, such as reduction in stress response, increased antibody response to infection and decreased pro-infl ammatory gene expression.

Recent clinical studies have documented the physical and mental health benefi ts of mindfulness, for example, the rate at which our cells age through improved telomere length and maintenance. A telomere contains specialized DNA sequences at the end of each chromosome which protect the chromosome from deterioration by slowing down its destruction. Lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, stress management, mindfulness and social support may result in longer telomeres, which play a role in cellular aging by providing protection from some of the aging-related diseases. Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn from the University of California San Francisco was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 2009 for her work with telomerase and telomeres. She discovered

mindfulness:The Untapped Innate Catalyst for Healing, Happiness


an enzyme that plays a key role in normal cell function as well as in cell aging. The enzyme is called telomerase and it produces tiny units of DNA that seal off the ends of chromosomes, which contain the body’s genes.

Additionally, mindfulness practice and learning to reduce and manage stress in healthy ways contribute to a reduction in the size and excessive reactivity of the amygdala. The amygdala lies within the limbic system of the brain and has been shown to play a key role in the processing of emotions, memories and in decision-making. The amygdala is involved in appraising and reacting to perceived stress. Stress has signifi cant adverse effects on health and is a risk factor for many illnesses. Similarly, Dr. Sara Lazar and her team at Harvard Medical School found that mindfulness-based stress management practices lead to increases in regional gray matter density.

Recent discoveries and advances in science such as these have led to the emerging fi eld of human social genomics, a relatively new fi eld of research that examines why and how different social factors and processes (e.g., social stress, confl ict, isolation, attachment, etc.) affect the activity of the genome. This emerging fi eld has shown that the activity of literally hundreds of genes (called “gene profi les” or “gene programs”) can be affected by the physical and social environments that humans inhabit.

and Health


These latest studies have many positive implications for the practice of mindfulness. Science is revealing that these practices lead to the improvement of many emotional and physical illnesses, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, addictive disorders, sleep disorders, and chronic pain, as well as metabolic disorders including obesity, gastrointestinal disorders, skin disorders, cardiovascular disorders and other infl ammatory disorders.

Mindfulness and Stress ReductionNow are you curious about learning more about

mindfulness? Mindfulness can start with the very simple practice of learning how to become more consciously aware and “mindful” of many of our everyday, mundane activities – the types of activities that we do every day often in “auto pilot.” A good place to start is with the mind-calming practice of learning to focus on our breath. Find a comfortable spot. Close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, allowing your belly to be soft. Breathe slowly and deeply, feeling yourself present, here and now, relaxing more and more with each breath that you take in and each breath that you let out. Now focus on breathing with all fi ve senses - really focus on how the breath feels entering your nostrils – air going in, air going out, feel the touch,

pressure, the fl ow, temperature, velocity, and any other sensations such as tingling, and other characteristics of your breath. Concentrate only on your breath. It is human nature for the mind to wander – this will happen – when it does, simply observe the distraction non-judgmentally and then consciously bring your attention back to your breath – feel the air going in and the air going out. Is the air warm or cool? You will notice that you will continue to experience distractions – again, gently and non-judgmentally observe each distraction and then refocus on your breathing. Continue practicing this mindfulness exercise daily.

Now begin incorporating this practice into other routine activities of daily living such as walking, connecting with nature, brushing your child’s hair, listening, reading, observing, eating, driving, showering, cooking.This practice can be extended into almost any experience in life. For example, often we take a shower “mindlessly” without actually experiencing all of the sensations of the shower. Instead of focusing on the act of showering, we often spend this time “in our heads” thinking about what happened yesterday or worrying about what might happen today, tomorrow or even at some distant point in the future. Stop. Begin to focus on the shower, being aware of the present moment , experiencing the shower with all fi ve of the senses. Notice the steam

For you my soul will resurrect and singAnd from her deepest, shy recesses bringThoughts long forgot, which frighten and confuse;How can a frail and lonely man refuse? Your lips, they taste like April in the wildYour skin, it purrs and slumbers like a childWho, freshly bathed and freshly loved and fed Will curl around a dream and go to bed. Your eyes, your sighs, like music rhyme and riseYour tender nature is September skiesYour heart, it beats to feed my every needYour kind and starry mind is light to lead. A gift of joy that only God could sendTo love and worship, not to comprehend.

THE

SPOTPOET’S

By Hannah Saadah, MD

For You

Love of man to woman is a resurrecting emotion.

It is the sublime fruit of physical, emotional, and intellectual yearnings.

A man cannot love a woman unless he desires her in body, mind, and spirit.

Love is God’s answer to human hunger and emptiness.

Without love, beauty cannot be appreciated,

passions become animal needs, life becomes hopeless and meaningless,

and starvation of the soul becomes intolerable.


DIRECTOR’S DIALOGUEBy JanaTimberlake, Executive Director

“NEW BEGINNINGS”

The stories are endless about the reason a child is placed into state custody – neglect, abuse, abandonment or a parent’s inability to provide proper care. In Oklahoma, DHS has many

recent “black eyes” for mismanagement of these children’s cases, but this article is not to criticize the professionals who are dedicated, overworked and cannot possibly manage their heavy caseloads. Stories in the media tell us it is going to get better, but the challenges are great, especially in a state that must fi nd a way to balance its budget each year while the extra dollars to improve the system are simply not there.

I often refl ect on the stories about the foster children cared for by Dr. and Mrs. John Blaschke. If there are reservations in heaven, I believe there will be two for these living saints who loved and nurtured many foster children through the years, raising them like their own while knowing their time with them would be short. However, there is a recent story I want to share with you that will most certainly tug at your heartstrings. I will not mention any names while reciting the facts.

Imagine being a 4-year-old whose father has been jailed for methamphetamine use and distribution, while being raised by a mother who struggles with her own addictions. These individuals did not start out as bad people … they were loved by their families, excelled at sports, made good grades, but eventually stumbled into the world of drug addiction. But this article is not about the parents or addiction recovery … it is about the child who eventually entered Oklahoma’s foster care system.

Fortunately, the child was placed in a good foster home – a loving, elderly woman who had raised many children. If she had read the DHS report before accepting the child, this story would have ended differently. The report stated that the child was developmentally disabled, not potty trained and had little hope because of his circumstances. But the caseworker did not take into consideration that no one had taken the time to “raise” this child … he was basically left to fi gure out life on his own at a very tender age. In the short time he was in his foster mother’s care, the report was eventually proven to be wrong.

Now comes the good part … grandparents to the rescue! Living out of state, they exercised much patience while cutting through red tape and the requirement to attend several court hearings. Eventually, temporary custody was awarded and the child was fi nally given the chance to “be a child” – you know, that carefree feeling of innocence that only children can experience. He was no longer being locked in a dark room or closet for punishment, but instead being read to each night before being tucked into bed after a warm bubble bath. He learned the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord’s Prayer, recited them every single night, while saying an extra prayer for the parents who could no longer care for him.

His grandparents showered him with much love and attention, while gently teaching him all the things his parents should have. They scheduled play therapy for the child and worked through his trust issues. Eventually, his parents agreed to waive their
